The IBM TotalStorage Productivity Center products are priced using a managed-environment approach
whereby price is determined by the amount of storage capacity under management rather than the
number and type of product components installed.

This licensing model can provide the customer flexibility to deploy these software products within
its environment in a manner that can address and respond to the customer's evolving architecture.
That is, as the architecture of a customer's environment changes, the customer's implementation of
these products can be altered as needed without affecting the customer's license requirements (as
long as the customer does not exceed its entitlements to the software).

Value-Based Pricing terminology definitions

IBM TotalStorage Productivity Center terabyte (TB) capacity

A terabyte capacity is each individual terabyte of storage capacity managed by the IBM TotalStorage
Productivity Center products. Managed capacity for IBM TotalStorage Productivity Center for
Replication and IBM TotalStorage Productivity Center for Replication Two Site BC is defined as the
source device capacity.
Only
the source device capacity is included in this pricing definition (
not
the target device).

Terabyte

One terabyte of managed storage; (T/TB) = 2 raised to the power of 40 bytes = 1,099,511,627,776
bytes, or approximately a trillion bytes.

Passport Advantage

Through the Passport Advantage Agreement, customers may receive discounted pricing based on their
total volume of eligible products, across all IBM brands, acquired worldwide. The volume is
measured by determining the total Passport Advantage points value of the applicable acquisitions.
Passport Advantage points are only used for calculating the entitled Passport Advantage discount.

To determine the required Tivoli product configuration under Passport Advantage, the Tivoli Enhanced
Value-Based Pricing Model applies. The customer's environment is evaluated on a per-product basis.

Use the following two-step process to determine the total Passport Advantage points value:

Analyze the customer environment to determine the number of charge units for a product. The
quantity of each product's part numbers to be ordered is determine by that analysis.

Order the Passport Advantage part numbers. A Passport Advantage point value, which is the same
worldwide for a specific part number regardless of where the order is placed, is assigned to each
Tivoli product part number. The Passport Advantage point value for the applicable part number,
multiplied by the quantity for that part number, will determine the Passport Advantage points for
that Tivoli product part number. The sum of these Passport Advantage points determines the Passport
Advantage point value of the applicable Tivoli product authorizations which then may be aggregated
with the point value of other applicable Passport Advantage product acquisitions to determine the
total Passport Advantage points value.

The discounted pricing available through Passport Advantage is expressed in the form of Suggested
Volume Prices (SVPs), which vary depending on the SVP level. Each SVP level is assigned a minimum
total Passport Advantage point value, which must be achieved, in order to qualify for that SVP
level.

Media packs and documentation packs do not carry Passport Advantage points and are not eligible for
SVP discounting.

For additional information on Passport Advantage, refer to the following Web site

The following Passport Advantage part number categories may be orderable:

License and Software Maintenance 12 Months  this is the product
authorization with maintenance to the first anniversary date.

Annual Software Maintenance Renewal  this is the maintenance renewal
for one anniversary that applies when a customer renews their existing
coverage period prior to the anniversary date at which it expires.

Software Maintenance Reinstatement 12 months  this is for customers
who have allowed their Software Maintenance to expire, and later wish to
reinstate their Software Maintenance.

Media packs  these are the physical media, such as CD-ROMs, that
deliver the product's code.

Documentation packs  these contain printed documentation such as the
User's Guide and Release Notes.

Pricing examples

IBM TotalStorage Productivity Center for Replication and IBM TotalStorage Productivity Center for
Replication Two Site BC use a new capacity pricing model. The new model consists of six tiers,
which are to be used cumulatively. All tiers must be used in order, (begin with the first one and
move on to the second one, and so forth) to get to the desired total amount of terabytes (TBs).

Based on the actual TB tiers, the following example is an illustration, using hypothetical prices,
to show how to calculate the prices:

Scenario 4:
Customer wants to manage 5 TB of storage capacity with the IBM TotalStorage Productivity Center
for Replication (5608-TRA) and 10 TB with TotalStorage Productivity Center for Replication Two Site
BC (5608-TRB). This is not possible since (5608-TRA) must be at least as much as (5608-TRB).

Scenario 1:
Customer has scripts for Metro Mirror and/or Global Mirror for DS6000 and DS8000 CLI: A tool is
available to facilitate this migration.

Scenario 2:
Customer wants to migrate to TotalStorage Productivity Center for Replication V3.1 from GMU
services offering: A tool is available to facilitate this migration.
